Here in the southeast PA area we haven't had rain for over 13 days. We had a quarter of an inch on May 1 and had over 6 inches in April.

After 2 weeks with no rain people in the East and plains states yell drought. People in the West irrigate. They yell drought if they run out of irrigation water.

We expect 3 inches of rain every month. The don't expect any rain for 3 or 4 months in the summer in areas like San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Seattle, Juneau, Vancouver, and Victoria.

It sure seems dry here in Bucks county, the soil is cracked and powdery in spots. Of course the trees have all finally leafed out, just in time for this dry spell.

We had a little bit of rain over the weekend, with more in the forecast. Hopefully it'll come soon.
